Jane Austin: A Short Biography

Here is a brief biography of Jane Austin, gratis The Jane Austen Society of Australia. The website includes a chronological list of events, publications, and personal experiences that shaped the author's life. It also has a direct link to Austen's original obituary and the notification to the public regarding her sole authorship of her canon of novels, a topic of great debate due to social inequalities between the sexes in the early 1800s.

As an added bonus, the bottom of the page has a slew of JASA essays that discuss the letters and novels at length.


As always, enjoy and thanks for reading!
